Community ManagerI'll preface my feedback by saying I race on a wheel with zero assists and I've been playing F1 games since F1 2020.
To me this handling update took everything that was good about the pre-patch handling and got rid of it.
The braking requires zero skill now, you can stand on the brakes and the fronts don't lock. Prior to the patch the braking was honestly perfect, it required skill and felt nearly identical to braking for GTP cars in iRacing where you had to be afraid of the brakes which is EXACTLY how it is in real life. You can also slide the rear in corners to gain time again like you could in F1 23 but you couldn't do that prior to this patch.
I no longer feel like I get any feedback about what the car is doing in the corners. All of the updates for the suspension model that were present and I could feel prior to the patch I can no longer feel at all. The amount of speed the car is carrying doesn't feel like it affects the downforce level anymore. There's chronic understeer everywhere, I could honestly go on forever. It feels like you guys threw the baby out with the bathwater here. This is so much worse than it was prior to the patch. There were a few minor issues you all needed to address and it's like you just threw out everything.
It would be one thing if the handling were like this on release but to have had a good handling model and then have it taken away makes me kinda wanna give up on the game. It's not even fun to drive any more.
